The Clinical Coding Department is a large and diverse team with a strong work ethic and high standards. The team work mainly from home barring a few exceptions by choice. This is because of our Trust EPR and scanning service enables our team to code digitally.
We ask that the teams attend the LTHT site a minimum of two times per year or for business needs such as certain training, equipment failure and operational requirements. This will ensure that staff can build and maintain relationships with other team members.
As a department we rotate the clinical coders assigned job plans every six months to ensure our clinical coders maintain their skill mix.
The department has a training and audit function with 3 auditors, a trainer and an assistant trainer. This is to ensure the continued improvements in the depth and quality of our clinical coding as well as support the trainees undertaking our annex 21 training plan for the ACC qualification.
